I have just been introduced to luxury fragrances from Krigler, a historically iconic perfume house. The Russian-born namesake fragrance house was conceived of in 1904 and founded by Albert Krigler.

If you like floral scents you might opt for Chateau Krigler 12, created in 1912 and hand made with Lily of the valley, mimosa, white musk and rose, or Juicy Jasmine 30 - an exquisite blend of hyacinth, lily of the valley, ylang and gaiac wood.

Blue Escapade 24, a light floral, woody fusion and Jazzy Riviera 210 are both fragrances for Men and Women. Jazzy Riviera210 was created in 2010 to celebrate the vivacity of the Jazz Era on the French Riviera. The launch marked the 100th anniversary of the opening of Krigler's Haute Perfumery Atelier in Cap d'Antibes. Jazzy Riviera210 features clean citrus top notes with a light floral heart and a deep, woody base.

A 10-foot statue was unveiled today, featuring the first image of the sixth M&M'S® character, Ms. Brown, at the M&M'S® World Store in Times Square. Ms. Brown will make her full public debut during a commercial that will air during the first quarter of Superbowl XLVI on Sunday.

Two of my favorite scents are Cherry and Almond, so I'm super excited about Floral Cherrynova, my favorite from the güd line. It smells amazing, with top notes of juicy bing cherries and fresh green, mid notes of rosewood and white floral bouquet and dry notes of warm milk accord and creamy musk.

All güd products contain no parabens, no phthalates, no petrochemicals and are never tested on animals. As of this month, look for güd products at select food, drug and mass retailers, including Target (Pearanormal Activity is exclusively available at Target), Walgreens and Ulta. You can also shop güd at gudproducts.com.

If you're looking for a chocolate fix or small gift for Valentine's Day, I recommend Divine Chocolate White Chocolate & Strawberry, Milk Chocolate and 70% Dark Chocolate Hearts. I don't even really eat white chocolate but after eating one of the White Chocolate & Strawberry Hearts, I couldn't stop eating them! They are made with pieces of real strawberry crisp, added that extra crunch to its creamy texture.

Divine Chocolate is made only with the finest quality Fair Trade cocoa beans from Kuapa Kokoo, a cooperative of smallholder farmers in Ghana.

In the fall/winter months I tend to wear skinny jeans and boots, but as soon as spring/summer hits its back to wearing dresses and platforms, heels and wedges. Forever 21's Spring 2012 includes dresses that are feminine and flirty or vintage-style with romantic lace.

One of the perks of being a Glambassador is surprisingly getting a new product in the mail to review and promote. These unexpected gifts always brighten up my day! Well last week I received Glamour's new dating advice book, Always Hit on the Wingman...and 9 Other Secret Rules for Getting the Love Life You Want, written by Jake, Glamour's male dating columnist.

I have to admit, I'm a sporadic reader since I never seem to have enough time. Seems like the best time for me to get a good read in is on the beach, at the pool or when I'm just home, sick with a cold like I am now.

I've only read two chapters so far, but it's a great book to read from a male perspective, especially if you are a single woman constantly confused by men. The book includes great tips, collective wisdom and ten rules to help you get the love life you deserve. Here's a sneak peek at what you'll learn:

On Wednesday, January 25th, I attended the Winter Glamour Party at the J Sisters Salon inside the Limelight Market Place at 656 6th Avenue. I had only been to the event space once when it was Avalon, and before that I hadn't been there since my Limelight clubbing days years ago so it was interesting be back.

In March, look out for graphic patterns and a neutral palette of white, khaki and navy that pop against vivid yellow, pink, blue and green neons. Limited edition watercolor silk scarves with luxurious oversized patters are inspired by vintage pieces from the 60s and 70s, while vintage estate necklaces are made modern with bold punches of day-glo color.
